I know that You can do all things,

and that no thought or purpose of Yours

can be restrained or thwarted.

Job 42:2

“I’m convinced: You can do anything & everything.

Nothing & no one can upset Your plans.

You asked, ‘Who is this muddying the water,

Who are they who ignorantly confuse the issue,

Who are those second-guessing My purposes?’

I admit it. I was the one.

I babbled on about things far beyond me,

I made small talk about wonders way over my head.

You told me,

Listen & let Me do the talking.

Let Me ask the questions.

You give the answers.’

I admit I once lived by rumors of You;

now I have it all firsthand—

I see You with my own eyes

I hear You with my own ears!

I’m sorry— forgive me.

I’ll never do that again,

I promise!

I’ll never again live on crusts of hearsay,

I’ll never again trust in crumbs of rumor.”
